New in the Crochet Spot Store, this pattern set is for 3 different sized boxes with lids that are great for using as gift boxes or for storing small items. The boxes are designed to be nesting, so that the smaller boxes fit perfectly into a larger box for easy storage when not in use. Each piece is crocheted in the round so that no sewing is required. The pieces are also designed with defined corners, unlike other boxes that are crocheted in the round. The pattern uses tight half double crochet stitches to make each box quick to crochet.

I had something written for all of you it was titled “WIP and WIM”, that’s changed – as you can tell by the title of the article you are now reading. I’ve kept with the original thread but added some! I know your just bursting with excitement to find out why I have changed the title (pretend you are) – I shall tell you.

Firstly, what am I going on about? For the uninitiated, a WIP is a “work in progress”, you know, the one or ones you are currently working on even if you have only done the first row before putting it into a bag or box and forgetting about it. A WIM is a “work in mind”, they are all the other projects that you know you need to, or want to do next.
